The Star Struck Banner Lyrics

There's entertainment news on the hotel tvThey run it for 24 hoursWhere stars discuss celebrityAnd celebrities talk about starsAnd who's having who on so and so's setThe lifestyles of the rich and uselessFrom Queen Julia down to King KongThey got everybody singing that songBut everybody's got it wrong

It makes me stutter, makes me stammerSo let's fly it highThe Star-Struck BannerHere's how it works and here's a spannerStick It In!

I know that woman and she can't actAnd I know who bought her breastsOnce she wanted to get to grips with meNow she can't get me off her chestI saw the photos of their wedding dayNow she's another gay divorceeWell, they can blame it on the media but I'm not buyingAll their crocodile tears or their wolf cryingIf you get it and you don't want itThen you're not trying

It makes me stutter, makes me stammerSo let's fly it highThe Star-Struck BannerHere's how it works and here's a spannerStick It In!

I read the papers, looking for the newsAll I see is excuses for irrelevanceIf you thought no-one was dying then you'd be excusedIt's an insult to the unintelligent(I burned bright for ten minutes one nightWith a girl who had a bit part in ... who cares?But my hard work failed when she checked my salesAnd threw me down the stairs)

Me, I'm just an armchair outlawTrying to make ends meetBut when I try a little psycho mathsWell it knocks me off my feetI've heard there's no Gods left anymoreSo what do we wanna make these new ones for?We'll just say our prayers like we know we shouldGet on our knees and pray to HolywoodBut it ain't gonna do us no good

It makes me stutter, makes me stammerSo let's fly it highThe Star-Struck BannerHere's how it works and here's a spannerStick It In!
